On the morning of November 28th, China's third-generation nuclear power technology with completely independent intellectual property rights, Unit 1 of the "Hualong One" Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Project, was successfully connected to the grid for the first time and began to transmit electricity to the power grid. This marks significant progress in the mass construction of China National Nuclear Corporation's "Hualong One".

After on-site confirmation, Unit 1 of Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant is in good condition and all technical indicators meet the design requirements. A series of tests will be conducted as planned to further verify the performance of the unit.

Zhangzhou Nuclear Power is located in Yunxiao County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. It is the starting point for the mass construction of the "Hualong One" nuclear power plant and currently the world's largest "Hualong One" nuclear power base. It plans to build 6 million kilowatt "Hualong One" nuclear power units, and currently 4 units are under construction, with safety and quality under good control.

As the "national business card" of China's nuclear power going global, "Hualong One" is a third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power innovation achievement with complete independent intellectual property rights developed and designed by China, which meets the world's highest safety requirements and the latest technical standards. According to China National Nuclear Corporation, the total number of domestically and internationally operating and under construction units of the "Hualong One" has reached 33, making it the third-generation nuclear power technology with the highest number of operating and under construction units in the world, marking China's nuclear power technology and comprehensive competitiveness among the world's top ranks.

Public information shows that the annual power generation of a single "Hualong One" nuclear power unit exceeds 10 billion kilowatt hours, which is equivalent to reducing standard coal consumption by 3.12 million tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 8.16 million tons per year. It is equivalent to planting more than 70 million trees and forests, and the power generation can meet the annual production and living electricity needs of one million people in moderately developed countries.
